Since August 2010

Alright. Well i've just been here for about 4 months now. Still looking for the fun spots, any recommendation???

Hello!

hiya Dami"lola", Dami"shi", which of them is correct? lol. How u dey

ok all FYI, I got this message recently and following instruction.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
Compliment of this day to you all.
This is to remind you all, that the proposal sent (on Sunday 19th February 2012) by a fellow respectable Nigerian suggesting that all Nigerians in Abu Dhabi should come together at a social gathering (purposely to get to know ourselves as individuals) is widely accepted and back-up by many other fellow respectable Nigerians in Abu Dhabi.

In the said message, he mentioned how importance it is for us to have an informal avenue to ruminate over things going on in Nigeria and determine where we can be of help as well as see to our welfare here in UAE especially in Abu Dhabi.
For the benefit of those of us who were not part of the discussion at the initial stage, and those who are receiving this information fro the first time, here is a summery of the message :
Day  : Friday,
Date :  9th March, 2012
Time : 4.00 pm
Venue: The Park Opposite Abu Dhabi Co-Operative Shopping Mall On Muroor Road.

With best regards

Heya Ladies,

Thanks all i appreciate. Is there no form for Nigerians in Dubai? I was at Deira last week saw a lot of Nigeria mostly traders.

The number of Nigerians in Dubai as I have heard is very large. I plan to visit Deira soon, heard so much about it already. Directions please anybody (Na shoprite thingz abi balogun market levels, una know as e dey b for our house na), lol. Thanks.

@fran18 lol deira is not that big so once you drop at sabkha bus stop you should be able to find your way around . don't forget to try the nigerian food though lol

@fran18 lol deira is not that big so once you drop at sabkha bus stop you should be able to find your way around . don't forget to try the nigerian food though lol
